This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for ballasts for discharge lamps such as high-pressure mercury vapour@ low-pressure sodium vapour@ high-pressure sodium vapour and metal halide lamps. The standard covers inductive-type ballasts for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz@ associated with discharge lamps@ having rated wattages@ dimensions and characteristics as specified in IEC 60188@ IEC 60192 and IEC 60662. This standard applies to complete ballasts and to their component parts such as reactors@ transformers and capacitors. Particular requirements for thermally protected ballasts are given in annex B. NOTE 1 For certain types of discharge lamps@ an ignitor is required. NOTE 2 Ballasts for fluorescent lamps are covered by IEC 61347-2-8.Performance requirements are the subject of IEC 60923.
